YEREVAN, April 9. /ARKA/. Armenia’s President Robert Kocharyan has called for destroying the wall of misunderstanding between different sections of Armenia’s population.

“We must not disunite and set barriers between different sections of the population, ignore one another’s problems, or be unapproachable for one another,” Sargsyan stated at the inauguration ceremony.

Sargsyan also addressed the supporters of the other presidential candidates.

“You had the right not to vote for me, but I have no right not to be you President. Even if there is a wall of misunderstanding between us, I call for destroying it,” Sargsyan said.

He called for reforms, stating that “everyone must start reforming himself.”

The inauguration ceremony for Armenia’s new president has been held at the Opera House of Yerevan today.

Serge Sargsyan won the February 19 presidential election by receiving 52.82% of votes. The European and CIS observers recognized the elections as held in conformity with international standards of democracy. –0--
